“…In order to select the appropriate and relevant geotechnical solution to protect the Alpine region, the risks factors [2] need to be identified, whether natural or man-made. Given the current and near-future expected situation, the regional parks of Shkrel and Nikaj-Mërtur (the study areas of the research) were identified, currently under threat by some risks, which have been enumerated, analysed and discussed below:…”

“…The lack of a regulatory plan is seen as very problematic in this regard. The monitoring of unplanned building and forestry work such as cultivation can be cost effectively undertaken using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) [2] and other types of drones. These vehicles can be programmed to traverse regular paths on a weekly basis.…”

“…The solution proposed [2] is the creation of 'Disaster Management Cells', which shall be located for each valley, two per valley (at the beginning and at the end). Integrated Sensors, that measure the heat (air temperature), soil composition (moisture content, pH level) [12], land movement (seismic activity) [13] etc., will be placed on the terrain.…”

The Albanian Alps are situated in a mountainous block in the Northern Albania region, in the counties of Shkodër (also known as Shkodra or Gegëria) and Kukës (Kukësi). The nature of the mountainous terrain formation has led to the creation of isolated communities. The need for integrating these scattered communities into a cohesive co-operating community for area sustainability is now possible by using the Internet to link them all onto an online system. To deal with natural catastrophes, disaster management cells will be created which will serve as hubs. These hubs will be located at geographically strategic positions that will enable a predetermined geofenced region for evaluation of different disasters viz. forest fires, landslide, flooding, avalanches, the burial of villages under heavy snowfalls, etc. These cells will connect the particular case with the most appropriate disaster relief, rescue service and EMR (Emergency Medical Responder), first aid services (e.g. Green Crescent/Red Cross) and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) personnel. The cells shall be managed by locally trained human resources with the necessary equipment to provide the monitoring/analyses and first aid assistance in case of need. The technology needed for the monitoring and geotechnical management of the isolated Alpine communities will be described. The socio-economic impact of the deployment of these technologies aiding in the sustainability of these vulnerable communities will conclude the research.
